1. The Commission may:
(a) Exercise on behalf of the State the power of eminent domain in the manner provided in chapter 37 of NRS, except as herein otherwise provided;
(b) Take any property necessary to carry out any of the objects or purposes concerning such a project, whether the property is already devoted to the same use by any person (but not the Federal Government, the State or any other body corporate and politic); and
(c) Condemn any existing works or improvements of any such person now or hereafter used.
2. The power of eminent domain vested in the Commission includes the power to condemn, in the name of the State, either the fee simple or any lesser estate or interest in any real property which the Commission by resolution determines is necessary for carrying out the purposes hereof. The resolution is prima facie evidence that the taking of the fee simple, easement or other interest, as the case may be, is necessary. The Commission shall not abandon any condemnation proceedings after the date upon which it has taken possession of the property being acquired.
3. If the construction or other acquisition of any project, or any part thereof, makes necessary the removal and relocation of any public utilities, whether on private or public right-of-way, or otherwise, the Commission shall reimburse the owner of the public utility facility for the expense of removal and relocation, including the cost of any necessary land or rights in land, except where the cost of removal and relocation is or has been considered a proper element of just compensation in any settlement by negotiation or in any eminent domain proceeding.
